AHi Cakers!!
I am making a large cake this weekend and need to know if I have enough icing. Here are the specifics:
12" round 9" round 6" round All cakes are 4" in height All will be covered in Bc icing
I made two batches of icing. One batch fills a kitchen aid 5 qt mixer bowl. The two batches I have are for icing the cakes only. I have a separate batch for the filling.
Do I have enough? I use Sharon Zambito icing method.
Thx!!
AI don't know off hand..but I THINK there's a chart on Wilton that tells you how much it takes to do a cake?? I'm pretty positive of that but not 100% lol.
I hope tht helps somewhat
The rule of thumb is one batch of icing using 2# of sugar for every cake mix used.
12" round - each layer uses 1 1/2 mixes for a total of 3
9" round - each layer uses 3/4th of 1 mix - a total of 1 1/2
6" round - each layer uses 1/3 to 1/2 of a mix so figure 1
So you need 5 batches of b'cream each made w/2#s of sugar.
here is rose's chart based on the number of cups of BC needed.
5 quarts is 20 cups. I can make a double batch of IMBC in mine, it comes to 9 cups, when its finished.

two layer refers to a 4 inch tier.
you need to know how much frosting each batch makes, not just go by your mixing bowl size, unless it's filled to the rim
